Foodbuzz Tastemaker: Bertolli Four Cheese Rosa Pasta Sauce

When I received the email from Foodbuzz with the Tastemaker Opportunity to sample new sauces from Bertolli, I was quick to respond with a "yes"! I received a very nicely packaged box of their two newest sauces: Four Cheese Rosa and Arrabiata.

My Husband prepared a quick meal one night with the Arrabiata sauce. He sauteed some thinly sliced chicken breasts and then cooked in the sauce. Then a quick toss with the sauce and dinner was done! The sauce is full of flavor and has just enough kick to be deserving of the name Arrabiata. I think it would be fabulous with the grilled and sliced turkey sausage tossed with it, and may just do that as the weather warms up. There are some very busy nights ahead for us once baseball season begins for our boys.

The other sauce inspired dinner the other night. It is a creamy Alfredo style sauce with a bit of tomato in it. I decided to add it to crumbled cooked sweet turkey sausage. To make it a bit chunkier, I added some diced tomatoes as it cooked. Another quick and easy weeknight meal that I was able to throw together.

My Husband and I really enjoyed this sauce. It was full of flavor and enough creaminess to fill that "comfort food" craving. The dish reheated well for lunch as well! My Boys were less than impressed by this meal, which just meant more for us.

I am all for preparing your meals from scratch, but some packaged products are worthy of being used to make dinner time easier. I will be adding these sauces to my shopping list so that I can keep them in my pantry. With a few good quality ingredients, these sauces can make an excellent meal for your family. I also loved that when I took a look at the ingredient list it wasn't filled with names of things I couldn't pronounce.

Note: These sauces were sent to me for review through the Foodbuzz Featured Publisher Tastemaker program. No compensation was paid for a review of these products.
